We highly recommend raw (uncertified) $5 Indian gold coins in Extra Fine (XF) condition for bullion buyers. These classic gold coins were minted early last century and contain nearly a quarter-ounce of pure gold. They're in very limited supply yet they're trading today for barely more than their melt value. In our opinion, they're one of the best buys in bulk gold.

Along with their $2.50 brethren, $5 Indians are unique because they feature an incuse design, meaning their images and inscriptions are actually cut into the coin surface. All other U.S. coins are struck in bas-relief, meaning their designs are raised slightly above the surface fields.

Better than bullion

Minted from 1908 to 1916, and again in 1929, $5 Indians were produced by the millions but almost all were heavily used as currency or melted down. This fundamental scarcity can drive up premiums during periods of high demand. And unlike most forms of gold bullion, they are exempt from broker reporting requirements, making them truly private. In our opinion, they're better than bullion for bulk gold buyers.

Key Benefits

"I received the shipment and I was impressed by the quality of the coins. When AGE says BU, they mean it. Other companies use that term very loosely. I'm glad I discovered your company. You have great prices, quality products, good customer service, and you are a company I can trust. That's a combo that just can't be beat."- T.C.read more testimonials
